My aunt died on a Monday and a wake was held on Thurs. and a funeral on Friday. My husband, myself and my children were extremely close to her. The funeral/wake took place about 600 miles away from where we live. My mother has been caring for my aunt for the past 1 1/2 yrs. (doctor appts., chemo, radiation, etc.) We have three children (all in school) and decided that it would be best for only me (the niece) to fly in without my husband. I returned on Sat. morning. My mother-in-law lives about 120 mi. away and could have stayed with the kids only on Thursday. I did not have any other family to ask to watch the kids. I also did not ask any of my friends to watch the kids.

My mother and my other aunt did not understand why my husband was not flying in with me or why we did not drive in with the entire family. They currently are not speaking to me. I am very hurt and wonder how others would deal with this situation?

Cause and Effect of Sexually Transmitted Diseases?
I've noticed my father going out and it seems there is a rumor at his work saying that he's played with alot of women. So I was wondering, which sexually transmitted disease would cause these symptoms:

-skin breakout (blistering all over arm)
-lost weight dramatically (about half his size, yea, he was a little chubby before! But NOT TOO MUCH now!!!

Is this related to Hep B, C, Aids, STDs, HIV, or what??

Thank you.

My 15 years old daughter has been very oppositional since childhood. When whe was 2, I put her in time-out, when the time-out was up I told her she could come off the steps. She said "I don't want to" and she continued to sit on the time-out stairs. Thus began the stuggle for control.
Now as a teenager if I ask her to do things, i.e. dishes, pick up clothes, she usually refuses though occationally she will cooperate. We used to be close, loving, and I thought she would eventually grow up and be less selfish and stubborn. Wrong.
She is now refusing to get up and go to school. She is too old and strong to drag her out of bed and dress her. We've taken away TV, ipod, computer use, going out. She refuses to talk to a couselor/therapist. I've tried to be nice, tried to joke with her, tried to reason, yelled, nothing seems to work. She is now laying in bed, draws in her book and is driving me crazy.
I need help and advice, I find it harder every day to love her.

This is not some anti-war statement.

But I have noticed a trend. When republicans are in power the country generally does well but the people don't see it because the people are getting screwed.

When the Dems are in power the people are generally happier but the country generally falls into the toliet.

So what is more important. I stress this because I hear people down the social policies of Europe by saying that they are unable to compete or have slow moving GDPs. But the people themselves have more liberties and are more heavily invested in.

Likewise the OPEC nations are usually on the up and up economically. But because oil drives the economy, not the people, the people suffer to the point where strapping a bomb to their chest is a legitimate option.

So what is more important America or Americans? Why? and is a middle ground possible?
